Louise Marie Jeanne Hersent Mauduit

Biography

She was born in Paris as the daughter of a mathematician. She married the painter Louis Hersent in 1821. Like her husband, she is known as a portrait and history painter, and she took on female pupils, among whom was the porcelain painter Marie Virginie Boquet. She was a pupil of Charles Meynier and presumably also of her husband, Louis Hersent. She exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1810 and 1824, obtaining first-class medals in 1817 and 1819. Tardieu engraved several of her works.
